 Okay, so today what I want to present is this atlas that we've we've produced Agus and I as well as a number of consultants who've helped us doing this and the rational behind this is that no one wants today to buy food or eat food or write on paper that's tainted by deforestation that is the reason of deforestation and companies are becoming to be aware of this and so they're making these pledges these zero deforestation pledges they say okay we're going to clean up our supply chain and while they're saying this I think that as consumers not just as researchers here but as consumers we need to be watchdogs in a sense that we need to somehow have access to information to be able to verify these pledges to make sure that this isn't just greenwashing that it really is happening so this is basically the rational behind behind this atlas I mean a lot more can be done but this is really the selling point the currently the selling point of this atlas that you can actually verify deforestation pledges made by corporate sector and in this case we've worked on the island of Borneo and so we've looked at two important commodities palm oil and pop wood for paper so basically what this atlas is doing is that for the first time you're really able to verify well to actually look at the deforestation footprint of over a hundred companies of oil palm and pop wood in in on this island of Borneo so it includes the Malaysian side in the north Indonesia and also the little the little country of Brunei so maybe what I can just do is just do a quick demo for example yeah so basically here you can just go there you can look at enter a company name and here there's about 121 groups that you can look at so maybe I can just go for April April is you may have heard of is a big producer of pop and paper and so if we go and search for April what the systems tells us is that April has actually got seven concessions or seven estates that have been highlighted in blue here and if you look on the right hand side at this window it tells you that the combined area of these 70 states is about 382,000 hectares at the top there and the remaining forest currently remaining forest what it is as of 2015 by the way we're updating to 2016 now we're always kind of lagging a year behind remaining forests about a hundred thousand hectares in in in these concessions total deforestation 233,000 hectares since 1973 because here we're looking at a 42 year time span but not all of that deforestation we think has been caused by the companies in fact we find that 143,000 hectares roughly was caused by the company and we've done this by looking at the time delay between the moment we saw the forest station and the moment we saw the plantation being established these two things we can actually see quite well with satellites in other words the more rapid the far more rapidly forest was being converted to plantation the more likely it was that the company was responsible but sometimes you may have the forest patch being cleared say 20 30 years ago or three prior to the establishment of a plantation and it could well be that this is not the company here responsible so these are this is why that there's a difference between the total deforestation that we see and the deforestation caused by the company the difference might be a forest fire or it might be different actors clearing land within within within the concessions we know that there's a lot of overlapping land claims in concessions particularly in Indonesia inside then there's the avoided deforestation here the avoided deforestation is the area of plantation that was established on land that was already free from forest more than five years or 10 or 15 years before the plantation was established so the avoided deforestation would be a you know thumbs up for the company in a sense you know in terms of conservation but and and finally we've also got the planted area as of 2015 which is essentially the area that's currently active and here with it's about a hundred sixty three thousand hectares and then what you can look at on the on the right hand side we've all got we've all we also generated some sort of ranking for all of these indices for all of these 121 companies that we're looking at so planted area in 2015 April is at top four of 121 you know in terms of surface area that's already being planted so if you look at for example if you click here then you've got that list April's number four Sinamas forestry has got more 288 thousand hectares planted then there's Gar Wilmar and then you can scroll down all the way to the 121st then these indices these numbers you can find out more by clicking here and basically this chart it tells you the land use as of 2015 so here we have that number this is the currently planted area within the combined concession area and also how much forest is left intact and logged and a bunch of various other things here this is a an idea for how much biomass above biomass above ground biomass remains in in in in the in the forest that remains in the concessions and if you go down to these graphs so this is basically the annual deforestation company driven deforestation that has been essentially this is the deforestation that April we think is responsible for and I you know if you look at 2014 and 15 here there's actually a peak in deforestation and it's actually on peak lands it sort of makes me wonder how come April still clears Pete's warm forests these days considering all the you know all the information all the public outcry that's gone out you know following these fires which by the way started again in 2013 how come they still clear forests peace warm forests in 2014 15 and we're also doing 16 same thing how come and oh by the way Singapore keeps buying paper the Singaporean government keeps buying paper for its offices from April although we know that the Singaporean government is totally anti haze but we also know that you can keep clearing peace warm forest we're creating more fire hot spots for the future so that's a bit of an enigma for me or you know I well I guess shows that it still is business as usual so basically what you can do here is you can then you can look at so here we said we have found seven concessions so you could this is the list of the seven concessions with the names that April controls or owns in in in Borneo Island and then you can look at the individual you know you can look at the individual concessions if you want so for example you can look at this one it's a hundred forty one thousand hectares and you can you can go there it's actually going to zoom over the area and again the same the same statistics are going to the same statistics are going to appear with the you know the graphs but only for that particular concession not for the aggregated concessions so another so another example for example is Wilmar so for example you can Wilmar is you know a palm oil giant as you know so if we look at Wilmar for example interestingly Wilmar unlike April pledged to zero deforestation in in 19 December 2013 with immediate effect April pledged to zero deforestation I think in 2016 so we're still you know they're still getting away with it in the sense because they haven't pledged for the 2014 and 15 peak that we've just looked at but Wilmar pledged in 2013 with immediate effect so we can look in if in 14 and 15 deforestation has gone down or no so Wilmar has got 67 concessions and these are the orange areas that and so they're sort of scattered around Borneo in Kalimantan in Sarawak in Sabah and on the Malaysian side and they so these are the the stats and if you look at the annual deforestation you can see that after 2013 deforestation is going it's going down dramatically in fact 2015 appears to be at its lowest level compared to 2001 which sort of suggests that Wilmar is indeed trying to fulfill its zero deforestation pledge however if you know could could this could this drop in deforestation simply be because there is no more forest left in Wilmar's concessions because when you look at the when you look at the deforestation peaks it looks that Wilmar was very actively clearing forest in 2016 and then it sort of dropped since that so in order to try to answer these questions you can go to an advanced you can go to the advanced search which is which is here and here so you say okay I'm gonna go and I'm going to again so this is the same thing I'm going to go for Wilmar so I'll go and click Wilmar okay Wilmar is actually just doing oil palm so we can we can still leave all industries but let's look at all countries you could you could do a split by countries and even by regions you'd also do a split by whether these companies are RSPO members or not but here what we're going to do is we're going to say okay we're only going to look at Wilmar concessions where there's still a lot of forest left okay because we suspect that deforestation might actually be higher in in those concessions where there's still forest left because you know there's forest to clear so what we're going to do here is that we're only going to look at we're going to narrow our search by only looking at the concessions where more than 50% of the concession area here say 49% remains in the concessions and so and then we can apply this filter now there's only four concessions here and you can see there's one here one here and there's a couple at the top there in Sabah but interestingly when you look at then so these are the statistics for these four concessions only and when you look at the actual deforestation that Wilmar has caused in these concessions since 2013 you actually see that deforestation actually gone up and not gone down okay which sort of suggests that for those concessions where where there's still a lot of forest left it still is business as usual for these concessions basically they are not keeping up their pledge so if we want to now look at which company is actually responsible for that for this increase in deforestation we can look at the individual concessions and so I've done the homework for you and so this is this one we can look at this particular concessions which is which has got this particular name it's in somewhere in in West Kalimantan and you can see here that there's a peak in deforestation in 2015 compared to compared to 2013 and in fact the 2016 data reveals a much even higher number so yeah so this tells you that if the concession data set is correct which if this concession belongs to Wilmar then that particular concession did not basically keep its promise they kept clearing forest and guess what it's on peatlands as well so if we say for example because with this data set you can add a number of layers and so for example we can add the peatlands this is a peatland map from the from the Ministry of Agriculture so you can see that this is a peatland that this concession is actually sitting on peatlands you can also play with the transparency you know to be able to visualize layers you know so and here this is the actual in black this is what's currently planted with in industrial oil palm and this is that particular concession here that we think has not has breached its pledge so it's actually on peatlands I a group from Singapore called the PM Hayes have looked at this atlas and they know about this and they've asked Wilmar about this particular concession and Wilmar was pretty lucid and they said well we actually don't recognize that company and if it might be a company that we were forced to sell back to the Indonesian government but to be honest we don't really know and they've not really given us a very straight answer because what this tells us it could be that the concession data is wrong but what this actually tell what this atlas also does is that you can do the search for two different layers so version one and version twos but because they are currently two concession data sets that are currently floating in the public sphere one was released by the WRI one was released by Greenpeace and sometimes one is better than the other but it's so we've decided because we don't feel we've got the mandate to actually start playing with you know it's government data so we said okay we'll just put in both data sets and you can do the same search with two different data sets and the same name that's the same company name belonging to Wilmar for that particular specific space is actually consistent in both data sets so yeah so this is basically what this can actually do it can help you sort of verify pledges by by corporate actors in on the island of Borneo basically for Popwood and for Hummerwell thank you
